Listener comments!
	🥁 7:00pm WR: Hello David and Observers.
	7:02pm Observations: Hello, we are live!
	7:10pm zzz: hey @Observations! digging the tunes
	7:17pm doctorjazz: Hi all!
	7:21pm Observations: My 2006 review of Josef K www.phoenixnewtimes.com...
	🥁 7:36pm WR: Thank you for this, Heiner & Alfred. I'm not sure which way is up. Greatly enjoying it.
	🥁 7:45pm WR: Although Harth has worked with many artists I follow I have not previously become aware of him. Definitely not aware of the work with Goebbels. More music. More music. Where will I find the time.
	7:52pm doctorjazz: Love Herbie Nichols (Bob Brainen had been playing him weekly on his Saturday show for a while now).
	7:54pm Doug Schulkind: Never enough Herbie.
	7:55pm Observations: Hi Doug, welcome to the deviance
	8:00pm Doug Schulkind: The deliverance.
	🥁 8:15pm WR: Back in the day, when I would work in datacenters, until past midnight, I would sing Click Clack while waiting for the subway.
	8:23pm doctorjazz: This is cool (but it drove my wife out of the room...)
	8:33pm Listener Gregory: I thought I had observed some deviance, but then I realized it was only deviation. Does that count?
	8:37pm Observations: no judgments made here, whatever works is ok
	🥁 8:40pm WR: From the bandcamp link for Sélébéyone "Throughout the album, the voices of master musicians like Billy Higgins (on “Gagaku”) and Jackie McLean (“Go In”) – both of whom converted to Islam – are heard speaking to the complex relationship between their spiritual and creative practices. "
	8:41pm zzz: this track is pretty wild
	8:53pm zzz: inner city boundaries- one of my all time favorite songs
	9:10pm Listener Gregory: Poor Zorn got lambasted for this by a lot of mainstream jazz critics/fans. Maybe that’s just what he wanted?
	9:14pm Dean: "Lambasted": https://www.macfound.org/fellows/class-of-2006/john-zorn
	9:18pm Listener Gregory: Ha! Yes, but in 1984, the Monk fans and reviewers did not quite get his rendition using mostly duck calls and skronk guitar. That was the genius of Hal Wilner in choosing that group of artists.
	🥁 9:21pm WR: Was reading a review of the Nara recording and found this sentence: "The album Nara is the soundtrack that perfectly stages the divergent ideas that were crossing Brazil while offering a musical vision updated to the latest taste." www.albumoftheyear.org... note the term: divergent
	9:21pm doctorjazz: That Monk tribute album was great!
	9:23pm Observations: divergent - nice note, thanks WR, great concept
	9:24pm doctorjazz: Got to see Glenn Branca way back in the day (around when this came out) at a little NY club called The Mudd Club. I don't think those overtones are captured the same way on record, so much was happening above what the musicians were playing, it was amazing!
	9:24pm zzz: great cover art on the ascension would be cool to have on LP
	9:24pm zzz: nice @docjazz! i can imagine
	🥁 9:26pm WR: Doc, your pointing out of that album reminds me what a loss the passing of Hal Willner due to covid-19 was.
	9:26pm doctorjazz: I'm struggling through some required office online training, may have to shoot myself...
	9:26pm Listener Gregory: When you think about it, nothing is better for a young avant-garde musician to be accused of disrespect and even trying to destroy jazz/classical/all music (choose one). @doctorj, word!
	9:26pm Dean: You're right, of course, LG, but I think I'm more ruffled by "mainstream jazz" critics and fans.
	9:27pm Dean: "Upstart crow!"
	9:27pm zzz: that’s right WR. what a loss indeed RIP
	9:28pm Listener Gregory: @Dean, I’m ruffled by everyone now. It’s official.
	9:30pm Dean: Online training isn't training at all. It's machine-enforced painting-by-numbers. Whenever I "pass" one of these moronic endeavors I print out the "certificate" and hang it outside my office.
	9:31pm doctorjazz: When Branca and his guitar army were playing this stuff, the guitars were hanging, making this unholy noise, while the overtones floated over the room. You can hear it a bit on record, but, man...
	9:34pm doctorjazz: Hey, Dean, Streaming this show through the Technics! (Which is probably going to make it take twice as long to get through this @#&$&#@!! &!?! & Course, but may preserve my sanity).
	9:35pm doctorjazz: *guitars were banging...
	9:36pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, I don’t know what you’re talking about: I’m hearing the Branca piece perfectly through my $4.99 earbuds. I think there’s a guitar.
	9:38pm doctorjazz: LG, I'll get you $20 earbuds! (Actually hate earbuds, use either in ear or over ear headphones)
	9:40pm Dean: How is the Technics doing, doctorjazz? I gotta say I continue to admire it on a daily basis. Ain't perfect, but it's musical!
	9:41pm peter: hi from the Zia breakroom.. this is a cool track!
	9:42pm Dean: By the way, a neighbor of mine across the street to whom I've sung the praises of my beloved Linn purchased a used Systemdek with a Linn Basik Plus tonearm. It seems to have issues, so I'm investigating, but I'm so pleased he has ventured into good sound.
	9:43pm Listener Gregory: This sounds exactly like me babysitting my nieces when they were young.
	9:43pm doctorjazz: @Dean, getting there with it. The Technics app on my phone worked for a few days, then stopped, but between the buttons on the player and the remote (which was designed by a sadist), I'm able to access most functions. Still haven't figured out connecting an external hard drive. And it sounds very nice (but it's not my Linn...)
	9:45pm doctorjazz: I remember Systemdek... Love this Zenon!
	9:45pm ?: Hey Peter! Yeah, wild - Soul Vine Shaman was recorded in Ecuador, South America on November 6, 1976.
	9:46pm Observations: hey Peter! Yeah, wild! Soul Vine Shaman was recorded in Ecuador, South America on November 6, 1976. not sure why it didn't recognize me in previous post.
	🥁 9:50pm WR: I have two or three Zenon releases in my bandcamp wish list. Someday....
	9:51pm doctorjazz: Sounds like a really long wish list, WR.
	9:54pm doctorjazz: I'm close to the end of this course, eyes glazed. Also close to the end of the show, which I really enjoyed. Thanks, David!
	9:56pm doctorjazz: I'm DONE!!!!!!!! Glory Hallelujah!!!!
	🥁 9:56pm WR: Huzzah doc!
	9:58pm docto Edrjazz: Spoke toosoon... The Dreaded quiz...
	9:59pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, we are all so pleased that you are finally trained. Use it in good health! Thanks a mil, David! Great show.
	🥁 10:00pm WR: I'm done with work too, but honesty haven't been productive for the last couple of hours, have mostly been reading about the music David has been playing. Thank you David! Good luck with the quiz Doc J. Onward.
	10:00pm Observations: have a good evening, see you all next week

	9:34pm doctorjazz: Hey, Dean, Streaming this show through the Technics! (Which is probably going to make it take twice as long to get through this @#&$&#@!! &!?! & Course, but may preserve my sanity).
	9:35pm doctorjazz: *guitars were banging...
	9:36pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, I don’t know what you’re talking about: I’m hearing the Branca piece perfectly through my $4.99 earbuds. I think there’s a guitar.
	9:38pm doctorjazz: LG, I'll get you $20 earbuds! (Actually hate earbuds, use either in ear or over ear headphones)
	9:40pm Dean: How is the Technics doing, doctorjazz? I gotta say I continue to admire it on a daily basis. Ain't perfect, but it's musical!
	9:41pm peter: hi from the Zia breakroom.. this is a cool track!
	9:42pm Dean: By the way, a neighbor of mine across the street to whom I've sung the praises of my beloved Linn purchased a used Systemdek with a Linn Basik Plus tonearm. It seems to have issues, so I'm investigating, but I'm so pleased he has ventured into good sound.
	9:43pm Listener Gregory: This sounds exactly like me babysitting my nieces when they were young.
	9:43pm doctorjazz: @Dean, getting there with it. The Technics app on my phone worked for a few days, then stopped, but between the buttons on the player and the remote (which was designed by a sadist), I'm able to access most functions. Still haven't figured out connecting an external hard drive. And it sounds very nice (but it's not my Linn...)
	9:45pm doctorjazz: I remember Systemdek... Love this Zenon!
	9:45pm ?: Hey Peter! Yeah, wild - Soul Vine Shaman was recorded in Ecuador, South America on November 6, 1976.
	9:46pm Observations: hey Peter! Yeah, wild! Soul Vine Shaman was recorded in Ecuador, South America on November 6, 1976. not sure why it didn't recognize me in previous post.
	🥁 9:50pm WR: I have two or three Zenon releases in my bandcamp wish list. Someday....
	9:51pm doctorjazz: Sounds like a really long wish list, WR.
	9:54pm doctorjazz: I'm close to the end of this course, eyes glazed. Also close to the end of the show, which I really enjoyed. Thanks, David!
	9:56pm doctorjazz: I'm DONE!!!!!!!! Glory Hallelujah!!!!
	🥁 9:56pm WR: Huzzah doc!
	9:58pm docto Edrjazz: Spoke toosoon... The Dreaded quiz...
	9:59pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, we are all so pleased that you are finally trained. Use it in good health! Thanks a mil, David! Great show.
	🥁 10:00pm WR: I'm done with work too, but honesty haven't been productive for the last couple of hours, have mostly been reading about the music David has been playing. Thank you David! Good luck with the quiz Doc J. Onward.
	10:00pm Observations: have a good evening, see you all next week
